Elements hits the Washington Post Sunday front page

July 31, 2008

The Washington Post ran a Sunday front page story, Online, A Community Gathers to Concoct a Restaurant, featuring Lab member CoolTown Beta Communities.

The story focuses on the crowdsourcing of Elements, a local independent restaurant (that will stay that way because that's what the people want), which has progressed into a green, vegetarian, community and education-oriented third place.

Of course, the monthly beta community meetings are held at the Lab.
